June 2024 Predict-a-ton!
 
It’s another year and we now know that E3 is never coming back. Still, Nintendo did announce that this year they planned to have a Nintendo Direct in June. Early June, Late June, who knows when.. but this month for sure. They also said that the next Nintendo console is incoming but that it wouldn’t be featured in this presentation. Are they lying? Are we on the cusp of learning more about Nintendo’s next system, or are we about to learn about all the remaining games coming before then? The back half of 2024 is quite unknown and we’re about to have the curtain lifted. You may notice that due to the fact that Switch 2 news is apparently on the back burner, there is very little reference to Nintendo’s next console below, but that doesn’t mean something couldn’t happen, so a couple of options bring light of that.

This Predict-a-ton is live from now until 8PM the evening before the day the presentation is going to be presented. I’ll try to come back and update this post when that is known. So enough rambling, Let’s-a-go!

How To Play:
========================

Here are four sets of statements. Pick all of them you think will come TRUE. (choose as many as you like eg. A3, A6, B5, C9, D10…)

Make your choices in a prudent manner! Each category is more valuable but also becomes increasingly risky. A correct pick means you WIN those points. An incorrect pick means you LOSE those points. This means you might even end up with a negative score, but you may just succeed with the highest total instead! Winner is the person who obtains the highest score, even if that’s in the negatives!

Please post your predictions as soon as possible, as we simply don’t know when the next Nintendo Direct will be. It could be in 48 hours, 96 hours, or 3 weeks from now… but don’t wait!

It proves to vote early though as any statements that are officially confirmed ahead of the presentation will be locked and no-longer viable for new pickers.

This one's obvious but NO editing. Your initial vote is your final vote, so make it count!

For the purposes of this challenge, ALL information that comes out during the course of the Nintendo Direct will be taken into account. This year we only know about a Nintendo Direct. If before or during that Direct we learn about a Treehouse Presentation of some kind, the information learned in that presentation will also count towards the Predict-a-ton, pending that Treehouse even airs within 48 hours of the Direct itself ending. For example, if Nintendo had a Nintendo Direct on Tuesday, a Treehouse Live on Wednesday, and then announced another Treehouse event a week later, scores will start being tallied after the first Treehouse event only.

Before voting, I've wanted to post this somewhere.

But how many times has Nintendo lied to us (fibbed/white lie) about presentations that "will only/focus on/not include". I feel they have stated many times that something will only be *this* and yet they can't help but put something else beyond that criteria in the presentation.
It makes me dubious if we will get ZERO content on Switch 2, it will definitely not be a reveal so to say, but hints and teases I'm certain is a possibility.

I appreciate you continuing to do these every year, Doc! What a great tradition.

Typically I play very conservatively. My go-to strategy is that, if I can score above a negative number, I'll win.

NOT THIS YEAR! HYPE!!

It's actually less than 4 hours! 8PM ET the night before is the cut-off. Even I need to as I was so busy sharing it and pushing it, I didn't end up doing it myself.

I have no idea what to expect this year. I know Nintendo needs to take advantage of the massive install base of the Switch, but I have to imagine that their main development teams have moved on to the Switch successor at this point. I’m banking on Metroid Prime 4 being a (cross gen?) launch title at this point. They’ve done it twice with Zelda now and I see MP4 as a more likely option this time. I figure 2 and 3 should be redone and launched sometime between tomorrow and November. Perhaps one each, but I’d be glad with a combo package.

I figure we will get something Zelda related, most likely a remake, but I’ve no idea which one(s). I’d be up for Wind Waker the most, I think, but I’d love if they went back and actually made it a Director’s Cut or such and actually throw in an extra dungeon or such for the pearl on Outset Island. (I loved the story of Skyward Sword, but I just don’t seem to appreciate the controls anymore at all. I think I burnt out on motion controls and trying to adjust it to a regular controller. Give me TWW or TP.)

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 3D DK game. I think Mario will hold off until next Christmas with Switch 2.

No bonus guess for me this year. I never get those right, ever. If I did I’d probably say Excite from some new or “budget” team.

You know what sucks, because I don’t remember anything about what I filled out for this thing, but this morning, I go “You know, it’s end of Switch’s life, and I think they have another HD port or remaster, and I could see something like DKCR coming back. It’ll also line up fairly soon with the DK ride coming to Super Nintendo World Orlando.” And boom, there it is.

All in all I think there was a lot of great news here. I guess we’re finally kind of getting that DLC for Super Mario Party? And then Prime 4, super excited for that. A new Mario and Luigi? I’m a little iffy on some things about it, but it looks like it will have a lot of heart. I’d like to know more about it, that’s for sure. Seeing Miles Edgeworth was awesome- we’ve only played that first game, and after our disappointment with Great Ace Attorney, this should be perfect. I’d honestly love to replay DKCR and Tropical Freeze on Switch, but it’s just too pricey for me for games I’ve played already.
